Water- One of the six molecules that dominate life. Water is a substance in which two hydrogen atoms bond in a unique way to one
oxygen atom, hence, H2O. The unique bonding is so spectacular that water takes
on fascinating characteristics. Water molecules "stick" to other water
molecules because of hydrogen bonds. This cohesive characteristic of water
makes it possible for it to be held within the transport stream. The way the
connections are made is one of the wonders of this world. It is the only
substance on earth that occurs naturally as a liquid, gas or solid. All water
on earth originally came from rocks. As the extremely hot young earth began to
cool, gases such as oxygen and hydrogen escaped from rocks. They collected
above the earth, and as some oxygen and hydrogen bonded, the rains came. Water
is one of the most essential substances for trees and for all living things.
To understand the design of water is to recognize the existence of a designer.
Water can act as an acid or base in chemical reactions. Is water good or bad?
Too much will kill you and you will die when you don't get enough. Dose is the
thing. Make a horse thirsty. You could then put the water anywhere and it will
be found. Did you hear about the people who wanted to ban
dehydrogenize oxide
because they were told it caused many problems? Alas, they wanted to ban
water! Click here for more on water.
